How do wizards feel about animals?
Seems the general sentiment is closer towards hating them and think it's "normie" or "reddit-tier" to like them.

Animals by nature must affirm to the will to life, so to the extent that wizardly types are characterized as ascetic, world negating, etc, I can imagine it would be neutral-negative.
Similar to succubi in a way.

It's "reddit-tier" to overly humanize pets or act like they're equivalent to ones children. As long as a pet is well-behaved I never mind them.
Cats are cute but I don't think I would want to have one, too long of a commitment to keep.
Dogs are sorta annoying.

I would think the sentiment would be the opposite, given that pets are unjudging companions, and can help spruce up the tedium of life a little bit. Especially something like cats, which are generally respectful of your space and don't pester you, or even something more tame like fish.
That being said, I can see why wizards might not like dogs, given that dog owners tend to be an especially insufferable brand of normalfag, and dogs themselves are loud and needy.

I don't understand how wizards of all people don't like animals. Animals didn't put us into this position in life; humans did. I love animals. All of them. (Except for mosquitoes, they are assholes)

pets are fucking fantastic. having clinical depression makes socializing with humans a huge energy drain for me, however some level of socialization is necessary for me to maintain my emotional health. my cat helps keep me balanced. if my situation allowed, I would buy a lazy couch potato breed of dog too.
i couldn't recommend pet ownership more, it really enriches life.

You've got a cat, that's one type of pet and very different from let's say a dog.
Dogs are antiwizard pets unless you love going outside EVERYDAY and enjoy the idea of picking up after them and seeing them pee everywhere.

They're a burden. Why would people want to have a smelly, flea infested animal shitting the house?
Dogs at least could be useful if you live alone, they can guard the house an alert you if some nigger is trying to break in. But cats? cats are the most useless animal there is, most of them won't even hunt mice anymore.

I got a cat when I was 14, after begging my parents for ages to let me have one. I've had her for 15 years now, and although I love her and would never give her away, I've come to the conclusion that I do not have the personality to look after pets.
I crave solitude to such an extent I don't even want an animal companion anymore. Makes me feel kind of guilty because I don't want her to die, but I also want to be liberated from the responsibility of ownership and to be entirely alone.

I don’t think I’m capable of taking care of a dog or a cat, I barely get out of bed, but I’m quite fond of my hamster. They’re really low maintenance animals and I like holding her and feeding her treats out of my hand. I recommend if anyone wants a pet but isn’t responsible enough for a dog or cat

We got a new puppy because our dog died not too long ago. I'm a neet so I'm the one who has to babysit her all day and feed her and make sure she doesn't chew anything. The result is that the puppy loves me more than my mom, and if I leave my room for one second she comes bounding up the stairs ignoring everyone else. It is getting me down because I feel bad for my mom for "stealing" her baby and don't even want to leave my room to get a snack.

picked up a chihuahua from the humane society a few years ago and she's a very sweet dog but annoyingly yappy, although it's nice as a sort of living alarm sometimes for when mailmen or trespassers come. last year i caught a stray kitten that i am pretty sure is a somewhat expensive breed that escaped a farm or something. he minds himself most of the time but he can be pretty naughty. he is very insistent when he wants something to eat and routinely wakes me up for food. he was really nice when he was only 12 or so weeks old and used to purr and fall asleep lying on my stomach. i wish he would still do that, but he doesn't even let me hold him for long anymore. if i find him comfortably napping somewhere, he doesn't mind if i pet him for a moment. i know forcing his affection won't work anyway and i prefer him having his own personality.
i am not saying being against pet ownership isn't wizardly, but i don't see how taking care of animals (or just liking them) isn't either. it is a lot more interesting to watch how they live, especially considering they don't have some naked ape welfare state to keep them safe. they are more relatable than most people i have met because normalfags often treat me like i am a completely different species. i know a lot of animals have been warped by and rely on humans, but i think most of them would be better off if humans just died and i feel sorry that tons of these creatures with unique forms and lifestyles disappear every year. you could say that's always been how it works, but to me there is a difference between natural disasters and conscious human environmental destruction. the fact humans are what is directly threatening their lives now makes it easy for me to sympathize with them over humans.

>Owning pets is pointless and for normies. theres literally no point.
For those of us who need companionship but dislike regular, direct contact with other people, pet ownership has great utility. Having a pet helps me meet my social needs, and in doing so, enables me to spend less time with people. It would seem to me that whether or not pet ownership is wizardly depends on what kind of utility it has to you. Using it as an excuse to run into and meet new people/generate social contact may be seen as not being wizardly, but using it to meet your social need so you can further avoid being with actual people seems to be the height of wizardhood to me.
>>180129
If you were to buy a cat, you could get a low energy/lazy breed. It would be more work than a hamster, but not a lot more. I have to feed and water my cat, as well as clean her litter-box, however that's about it. She hangs out on the couch with me while I game, watch tv, and browse the internet. That said, a cat does require some effort whereas a hamster requires very little.

>Dogs are antiwizard pets unless you love going outside EVERYDAY
There is some truth to this, however being forced to go outside everyday would be good for my health. Going to dog park to socialize with pet owners would undercut my wiz-lifestyle, but merely having a dog to motivate me to walk by myself in the evening seems acceptable. I like the idea of expanding my small tribe from two (me and my cat) to three. Plus there are times I am forced to go outside, and it would be nice having support when I have to venture outside into a world I generally dislike.

I like animals but I don’t enjoy them as pets, they are smelly dirty and a hassle to take care of, I’d prefer to watch them for a little bit and then go back to my animal-free home
Cats are great. I don't mind dogs but I don't want to take care of them. People who abuse animals are fucking niggers though.
Depends on the animal. Cats are OK but only the very friendly ones. Dogs are too much work and annoying never understood the obsession. Lizards are kind of gross. Small animals are my favorite like hamsters/guinea pigs/mice/rats they are chill.

I don't mind animals that much, I'll pet a dog or cat when the occasion calls for it
Most of my family is allergic to a number of animals which is why I never owned pets, as a kid I coveted having a pet, likely because I was influenced by cartoons I watched.
Nowadays I don't really feel like taking care of another living being aside from myself.

Animal owners that patrionize their pets with baby talk and "HOOOO'S A FUSSY WITTLE BOY, YOOOOSEE ARRRRR YUUUU A GOOOOD DOOOGOOOOOO" are twats, and so are people that get exotic animals just for the satisfaction of their friends complimenting them on how "different" they are for buying a colorful bird instead of a cat. That said, I think animals are alright, but I'd never buy a pet. You clean their shit, piss and puke every day for 10 years and then they croak. It's more futile than raising a kid.
I think that people who claim to 'hate dogs' have either never owned one or were too lazy to train it correct. There is no way to hate a friendly well-trained dog unless you're some sort of sociopath who hates innocence.

people hate them because theyre loud and dirty. the dog owners themselves don't care that their dogs are annoying other people so thats why some people are so vigilant about hating dogs.

I dislike them and I grew up with them my entire life. They're dirty, annoying to take care of, and often unruly because most people just buy a dog and don't train it at all. Then there is the problem when you need to do something, go somewhere, be gone for an extended period of time, you have to think about what to do with the dog, it's just annoying.

I feel more for animals than people amd would never seek to harm one. I would if forced prefer to harm a person because in some way even if innocent a person can be deserving of pain moreso than an animal.
Basing your thoughts on what the group thinks is very normalfag OP.
